Ashutosh Rana has acted in films in seven regional languages out of the 12 in which films are made. He is the hindustani abhineta in its truest form. For an actor with such brilliant acting chops, Bollywood should definitely make room for more spine-chilling roles so that he could fit in.

Some of his notable films are

Jeena Isi Ka Naam Hain

Raaz

Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhaniya

Dirty Politics, etc.

A star is forced to become repetitive while it is the duty of the actor to break the stereotypes. That’s exactly what Ashutosh Rana did, he conquered Bollywood and our hearts with some memorable performances as a villain and when he refused to stick to stereotypes, Bollywood didn’t have much to offer to him.

His TV series is :-

Kabhi Kabhi

Warish

and a popular Show Kaali-Ek Agnipariksha.

He also did anchoring in the TV show Baazi Kiski.

Cinema is a reflection of society, and as society changes so does our creativity. Earlier, we had a good guy and a bad guy. This tendency has changed now with movies opting for a more nuanced take on different aspects of life. This absence of ‘villains’ makes us miss Ashutosh Rana even more.
